Why?

GSF do the piston and cyl kits..

But its also possible to use 1.9 DG pistons if you machine the 3mm (You need to measure) of the top.. this gives about the same cr as the MV.. but you could open up the chamber a littl more if need be...

hi, machining the top off of the DG pistons will give me 11.5/1 ish compression ratio. reason i want low compression is for the turbo.

Try Volkspares.

I have flycut boxer heads with a 94mm bore to about 3mm.

gsf are much cheaper then anywhere else i've found but waiting back for a reply to let me know what compression ratio they stock, guessing they will be the high compression type thou. there must be somewhere that will sell me low compression type? think volkswagen will be dear
